The use of theory to inform and guide your practice is what establishes you as a professional. In working with clients, you should always be aware of the underlying theory of your clinical approach. Through this course, you will develop the ability to better articulate the theoretical base by which you choose your interventions. You will use theory in every decision you make as it guides you through your practice. Additionally, identifying the theories in assessing and creating change will make you a more confident and skilled social work practitioner.

Discussion 1:
Informed Consent
Informed consent means that a social worker or another
professional will not intervene in a client’s life or release
confidential information about him unless that client has freely
consented
— Dolgoff, Harrington, & Loewenberg, 2012, p. 160
Social workers are bound by the NASW Code of Ethics (2008)
to provide informed consent with every client. A signed
informed consent form protects the client and the social worker.
It exemplifies the profession’s respect for its clients, allows for
self-determination, and is the cornerstone of good social work
practice. Sometimes, though, reporting of confidential
information is mandated by law.
By Day 3

5. 2. Post a description of the importance of confidentiality when
working with your client. How does the principle of
confidentiality impact the therapeutic relationship? Then,
explain your understanding of mandated reporting and how it
empowers vulnerable populations.

references. Also support all your written ideas with citations

Discussion 2:
Dual-Role Relationships
Consider this scenario:
You receive a hotline call at your mental health agency from a
client requesting a same-day appointment. You are the only
social worker available to work with clients at the time, as your
coworker is out of town on vacation for 10 days. A 15-year-old
boy struggling with depression (no suicidal ideation) and
addiction calls asking for help. While you are gathering
information over the phone, you realize that he happens to be
the son of a friend. Do you continue the process, planning on
providing him with services, or do you refer him to another
mental health clinic that is over 30 miles away? Do you make
him wait until your coworker returns? Do you contact his
parents and tell them he called?
In certain geographical areas there may be limited resources and
in turn a lack of opportunities for clients to obtain assistance. In
some rural or otherwise isolated areas there might be situations
that make it difficult to maintain ideal boundaries due to dual-
role relationships. Dual-role relationships exist when a
professional fills multiple roles at the same time, a situation
that may be unavoidable in certain circumstances.
Understanding the significant impact of a dual-role relationship
with a client is important in order to avoid harming the client.
Further, recognizing the impact on the client and the

6. relationship will assist in the creation of strong professional
boundaries. In these situations, a social worker might feel his or
her ability to maintain these boundaries is compromised or may
even experience a value dilemma due to the existence of dual-
role relationships.
Consider the importance of boundaries in a therapeutic
relationship. Think about ways a social worker might violate the
NASW Code of Ethics as it pertains to dual-role relationships.
Is there ever a situation in which dual-role relationships are
acceptable, or even preferable?
By Day 4
3. Post an explanation of how you might respond to the
situation with the 15-year-old boy on the hotline. Include ways
your decision may impact the client. Support your position with
references to this week’s resources, professional experience,
and additional research. How will you address a possible dual-
role relationship?
Support your posts with specific references to this week’s
resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your
references. Also support all your written ideas with citations
